time for Hop to hang them up he is turning into an attention whore he actually weighed in naked yesterday and when i woke up this morning he was on some show bragging about how much money he had to the dude he is suppose to fight tonight like he is money mayweather now :smh::smh::smh:
 
hopkins did not look good at that weigh in...for some reason i think hopkins will hit the deck against pascal and then come back and maybe fade late to lose a decision
 
will be one of THE most boring fights in all of boxing history. Hopkins should have been kicked out years ago, bitch is boring as fuck... I won't waste time on this crap, watching the basketball game instead...

You must have not watched the last fight...they both let their hands loose..that was an action-packed fight and i expect this one to be the same..

and Im going with Bhop

I haven't seen Bernard that aggressive since he fought Trinidad

I still remember that Trinidad fight like it was yesterday...I actually felt bad for dude... B-Hop dismantled him.

But yeah...from the 5th round on he was really pushing the fight.... gonna be interesting to see if he can avoid his typical slow start.

Yup. B-hop beat the shit outta Tito. And then what Winky did to Tito just made me feel sad for homey.:smh:Shame he couldn't maintain his weight at 154.
 
Bhop gonna get his ass kicked.

I just cant see it happening. Bhop handled him the last 8 rounds of the last fight. Pascal has a punchers chance because there is no way in hell he is going to actually outbox Bhop. He needs to land early and often and not run out of gas like in the first fight. Besides a quick second win he caught in the 10th round, dude was gassed in the first fight...and that doesnt work well for a fighter like BHop that traditionally gets stronger as the rounds pass.

I think Bhop is going to win this by decision.

What In really expecting is for Pascal to come out hard considering he scored the knock downs in the first fight and he is going to try to land something big early. I think he is going to punch himself out this fight.

Bhop is running the reverse pyschology on him calling him a 4 round boxer...but I dont think that is going to change the gameplan and I dont think Pascal is going to try to prove him wrong..he would be stupid too... besides those two knockdowns..he was dominated..he knows he cant outbox Bhop
 
:eek:You musta forgot the Pavlik fight. He beat that dude into rehab.:lol::lol:He hit that white boy everywhere except the bottom of his feet.:lol:

no the joppy fight was even worse than the beating he gave pavlik...i actually thought bernard was coming real close to killing that dude in the ring...i had never seen somebody's head swell up like that in a fight..i wanted that fight stopped

:lol::lol:Yeah because that happened to him la.......never.:lol:
What year is it fella's?

Did you see the last fight?-->Pascal's mechanics are TERRIBLE. Knocking B-Hop out won't be easy for that dude.



If Pascal can't drop B-Hop within the first 4-5 rounds, he can kiss his belt goodbye.

Co-sign.

Pascal is in a bind because if you come out hard and swinging in the beginning rounds you risk the same, or worst, out come from the last fight.

If you start off slow BHop can pounce on that and steal those rounds, and he'll get stronger as the fight goes on where as Pascal has a history of fading as the fight goes on, particularly past the 6th.

The thing is I read Pascals punches thrown/landed per round in the last fight is usually on par with what he normally does, meaning if he comes out more aggressive and throwing more he risks even being more gassed than before.

The other thing about Pascal and being "gassed" is that I think its just as mental as it is physical, sort of like Jermaine Taylor when he mentally and physically gets gassed in the later rounds of fights no matter what he does.

Outside of a surprising KO, which I don't see because although Bernard was down twice in the last fight he was never hurt, or Bernard just getting old in the ring tonight I can't see Pascal beating him.

I go with BHop in a twelve round clinic, he may even look as good as he did against Pavlik or better IMO:eek:
 
It's funny too-->Pascal is one of those fighters that rely on their athleticism more than their skill. Unfortunately for this dude, he can't fight the way he prefers for a full 12 rounds.

A great trainer would pick that shit up and tell the dude to use his wits; unfortunately for him, his trainer isn't. But this cat just throws wide ass hay-makers hoping for a knock out.

If this cat didn't improve and change his approach from the last fight, B-Hop is gonna counter the shit out of him.

:

yeah..im actually very interested to see how Pascal plays this...double-edged sword....
 
yeah..i thought it was Jan...that is right.it was december..

what time is the main event... i gotta come back on here to get a link...

It should start right around 10 (well the pre fight videos and interviews will), I haven't heard anything about the undercards being televised so I would assume around 10:15-10:20

:rolleyes:Apparently somebody missed the last fight. If Pascal don't do shit in the first three rounds, he's done. That niccas gas tank is smaller than a Yaris.:lol:
yo homie..these two fought only a few months ago...this year
BHop aint getting no better as a fighter. He peaked long ago. Pascal is in his prime and as stated his biggest issue was mechanics and decision making during that fight (and possibly endurance). That all can be improved upon. It is 2011, Bernard is washed the fuck up and running off the fumes provided by the doping he's doing. Pascal is 28 and still improving.

You brothers keep referencing the last fight as if it was an impressive performance by Bhop. The decision was bullshit and i saw Bernard eat the canvas twice. This nigga should have retired when he accomplished what he originally set out to do. He's pushing it now. Cant beat the clock, and my calendar says 2011. BHop cant win tonight. The post fight commentary will revolve around a tribute to his has been ass along with a reference to RJJ, another muthafucka who doesnt know when to say when .

I may be wrong, but i doubt it. Either way, i will be here to eat crow or gloat.
